In general, besides the lens elements disposed in an imaging lens assembly, a light blocking sheet is often provided between two lens elements for blocking the unwanted light in the imaging lens assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION 1st Embodiment

FIG. 1A is a three-dimensional view of a light blocking sheet 100 according to the 1st embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 1B is a top view of the light blocking sheet 100 according to FIG. 1A. In FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the light blocking sheet 100 having a central axis z includes a central hole 101 and a plurality of inner extended portions 105.

The central axis z passes through the central hole 101, which is enclosed by a hole inner surface 102. FIG. 1B can also be taken as a view of a cross-sectional plane of the light blocking sheet 100, wherein a normal direction of the cross-sectional plane is parallel to the central axis z, and all cross-sectional planes of the light blocking sheet 100 having normal directions parallel to the central axis z are the same. In FIG. 1B, the hole inner surface 102 has a first corresponding circle C1 and a second corresponding circle C2, wherein a diameter of the first corresponding circle C1 is greater than a diameter of the second corresponding circle C2. It can be said that the hole inner surface 102 defines the first corresponding circle C1 and the second corresponding circle C2. Specifically, the central hole 101 is non-circular. The hole inner surface 102 faces the central axis z, encloses the central hole 101, and is a continuously and non-circularly annular surface. In FIG. 1B, taking the central axis z as a center of a circle, the first corresponding circle C1 being virtual is formed by connecting a plurality of positions of the hole inner surface 102, and the second corresponding circle C2 being virtual is formed by connecting another plurality of positions of the hole inner surface 102, wherein the diameter of the first corresponding circle C1 is greater than the diameter of the second corresponding circle C2.

The inner extended portions 105 are adjacent to and surround the central hole 101, wherein each of the inner extended portions 105 is extended and tapered from the first corresponding circle C1 towards the second corresponding circle C2 and includes an inner surface 106, and the inner surface 106 includes a line pair 110. Furthermore, each of the inner surfaces 106 has two ends and a position between the two ends, the first corresponding circle C1 being virtual is formed by connecting all of the two ends of the inner surfaces 106, and the second corresponding circle C2 being virtual is formed by connecting all of the positions between the two ends of the inner surfaces 106. In the 1st embodiment, the geometric structures of all the inner extended portions 105 are the same, thus the geometric structures of all the inner surfaces 106 are the same. Each of the inner extended portions 105 is extended and tapered towards the central axis z. All the inner extended portions 105 are connected one by one to surround the central axis z. All the inner surfaces 106 are connected one by one to form an entire of the hole inner surface 102. In other embodiments (not shown in drawings) according to the present disclosure, geometric structures of a plurality of inner extended portions may not be the same. Geometric structures of a plurality of inner surfaces thereof may not be the same. The inner extended portions may not be connected one by one. The inner surfaces may not be connected one by one. That is, there may be a gap between two of the inner extended portions, and all the inner surfaces thereof together may only form part of a hole inner surface.

The line pair 110 of each of the inner surfaces 106 includes two line sections 113 and 114, wherein each of the line sections 113 and 114 is a part of the inner surface 106 and substantially a straight line. One end of the line section 113 and one end of the line section 114 are towards the second corresponding circle C2 and approach to each other, and the other end of the line section 113 and the other end of the line section 114 are towards the first corresponding circle C1 and far away from each other. Furthermore, the specific ways according to the characteristics of this paragraph can be, for example, one end of one line section and one end of the other line section are approach to each other and located on the second corresponding circle C2, one end of one line section and one end of the other line section are approach and connected to each other, and located on the second corresponding circle C2, the other end of one line section and the other end of the other line section are far away from each other and located on the first corresponding circle C1, and so forth.

In the 1st embodiment, the one end of the line section 113 and the one end of the line section 114 are approach and connected to each other, and located on the second corresponding circle C2. The other end of the line section 113 and the other end of the line section 114 are far away from each other and located on the first corresponding circle C1. That is, the first corresponding circle C1 being virtual is formed by connecting all of the other ends of the line sections 113 and all of the other ends of the line sections 114, and the second corresponding circle C2 being virtual is formed by connecting all of the one ends of the line sections 113 and all of the one ends of the line sections 114. Furthermore, each of the inner surfaces 106 is only composed by the line pair 110. The line sections 113 and 114 are symmetrical with respect to a connection between the line sections 113 and 114, that is, the one end of the line section 113 and the one end of the line section 114 are connected to be the connection therebetween, which is also a middle point of the inner surface 106, and the other end of the line section 113 and the other end of the line section 114 are respectively the two ends of the inner surface 106. In other embodiments (not shown in drawings) according to the present disclosure, at least one inner surface may include not only a line pair but also an additional surface. One end of one line section thereof and one end of the other line section thereof are towards the second corresponding circle and approach to each other, while may not be connected to each other and may not be located on the second corresponding circle. The other end of the one line section and the other end of the other line section are towards the first corresponding circle and far away from each other, while may not be located on the first corresponding circle.

In FIG. 1B, when the diameter of the first corresponding circle C1 is φ1, the diameter of the second corresponding circle C2 is φ2, a distance between the two ends of the inner surface 106 of each of the inner extended portions 105 is w, and an angle between the two line sections 113 and 114 of the line pair 110 is θ, the following conditions are satisfied: φ1>φ2; 0.02<π×(φ1−φ2)/(2×w)<0.9; and 129 degrees<θ<177 degrees. Comparing with a technique of an inner surface of each inner extended portion including only one line section being overly long, the line pair 110 of the inner surface 106 of the present disclosure includes the two line sections 113 and 114. The line pair 110 is favorable for properly diverging a contracted beam of an intense light spot incident on the hole inner surface 102 of the light blocking sheet 100, so that the light flaws around the image, such as wave-shaped stripes, arc-shaped residual image and so on, which are not within an actual imaged object and caused by the unwanted residual light reflected from the hole inner surface 102 to an image surface, can be reduced. Furthermore, the angle θ between the two line sections 113 and 114 within the specific range is beneficial to maintain the manufacturing yield rate of the light blocking sheet 100 and enhance the image quality of the imaging lens assembly.

Moreover, a difference between a radius of the first corresponding circle C1 and a radius of the second corresponding circle C2 is h, which can be understood that “h=(φ1−φ2)/2” based on the forgoing paragraphs, the distance between the two ends of the inner surface 106 of each of the inner extended portions 105 is w, thus the aforementioned condition “0.02<π×(φ1−φ2)/(2×w)<0.9” can be also shown as “0.02<π×h/w<0.9”. The angle θ is formed by the one end of the line section 113 and the one end of the line section 114, which are approach to each other, thus the two line sections 113 and 114 are approach to each other towards the central axis z. In the 1st embodiment, the distance w is also a distance between the other end of the line section 113 and the other end of the line section 114.

In detail, the light blocking sheet 100 with the inner extended portions 105 can be formed integrally. Therefore, it is favorable for the mass production of the light blocking sheet 100 and avoiding the extra manufacturing procedures.

When a number of the inner extended portions 105 is N, the following condition can be satisfied: 13<N<49. If a number of the inner extended portions is out of the aforementioned range, the properties of blocking the specific stray light would be below the expectation. When a number of the inner extended portions is within the aforementioned range, the worse properties of blocking the stray light resulted from the quality deviations of the light blocking sheets in mass production can be avoided. It should be noted that the said stray light usually indicates a light other than the imaging light, due to the stray light after being reflected from the surfaces of the optical lens elements could not image on the image surface, while it could not be identified which the imaged object is corresponding to the stray light incident on the image surface. The stray light is generally called the ghost image, the glare or the flare. The stray light does not have positive contribution for the image quality and is also called unwanted light. In FIG. 1B, an angle with respect to the central axis z of the inner surface 106 of each of the inner extended portions 105 is a. In the 1st embodiment, geometric structures of all the inner extended portions 105 are the same, the angle with respect to the central axis z of the inner surface 106 of each of the inner extended portions 105 is 12 degrees (i.e. the angle α is 12 degrees), and the number of the inner extended portions 105 is 30 (i.e. the number N is 30).

When the angle between the two line sections 113 and 114 of the line pair 110 is θ, the following condition can be satisfied: 149 degrees<θ<172 degrees.

When the diameter of the first corresponding circle C1 is φ1, the diameter of the second corresponding circle C2 is φ2, and the distance between the two ends of the inner surface 106 of each of the inner extended portions 105 is w, preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.03<π×(φ1−φ2)/(2×w)<0.6. Therefore, the inner extended portions 105 satisfying the aforementioned condition have less impact on the imaging from the imaged object under a low light condition, so that a better imaging performance of the imaged object under the low light condition can be provided. More preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.05<π×(φ1−φ2)/(2×w)<0.45.

When the diameter of the first corresponding circle C1 is φ1, and the diameter of the second corresponding circle C2 is φ2, preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.005 mm<(φ1−φ2)<0.19 mm. Therefore, it is favorable for preventing the light blocking sheet 100 from overly blocking light. Overly blocking light does not only affect the specification of the imaging lens assembly, but also influence the imaging performance of night photography. More preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.01 mm<(φ1−φ2)<0.07 mm.

FIG. 1C is a cross-sectional view along line 1C-1C of FIG. 1B. In FIG. 1C, an outer diameter of the light blocking sheet 100 is φ, and a thickness of the light blocking sheet 100 is m.

FIG. 1D is a separation schematic view of part 1D in FIG. 1A. In FIG. 1A and FIG. 1D, the light blocking sheet 100 can be a composite light blocking sheet. In the 1st embodiment, the light blocking sheet 100 is the composite light blocking sheet and may specifically further include a first outer layer 191, a second outer layer 192 and an inner substrate layer 193, wherein the first outer layer 191 includes a first outer surface 194, the second outer layer 192 includes a second outer surface 195, the inner substrate layer 193 is disposed between the first outer layer 191 and the second outer layer 192, the inner substrate layer 193 connects the first outer layer 191 and the second outer layer 192, and the first outer surface 194 and the second outer surface 195 are located opposite to each other on the light blocking sheet 100. Therefore, it is favorable for attenuating the stray light.

In FIG. 1D, it further shows the relationship among the first outer layer 191, the second outer layer 192 and the inner substrate layer 193, wherein the first outer layer 191 and the second outer layer 192 are torn by an external force and are distorted due to a non-uniform extension. However, under normal circumstance, the first outer layer 191 is tightly connected with the second outer layer 192 via the inner substrate layer 193 as shown in FIG. 1A. Thus, a composite material used for the light blocking sheet 100 can be provided by a tape type based on the manufacturing method, wherein the composite material can have a uniform thickness by controlling the manufacturing process of the inner substrate layer. Moreover, it is favorable to prevent the composite material from warping and to obtain a flat composite material being a thin film, which is favorable to maintain a thin thickness of the light blocking sheet 100.

The inner substrate layer 193 can be made of a plastic material, and each of the first outer layer 191 and the second outer layer 192 can be made of a black carbon-containing material. Therefore, it is favorable for satisfying the requirements of low reflection and light diminishing appearance of the light blocking sheet 100. Specifically, the plastic material can be black or transparent polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or a combination thereof.

The data of the aforementioned parameters of the light blocking sheet 100 according to the 1st embodiment of the present disclosure are listed in the following Table 1, wherein the parameters are also shown as FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C.

Furthermore, each of the inner surfaces 206 has two ends and a position between the two ends, the first corresponding circle C1 being virtual is formed by connecting all of the two ends of the inner surfaces 206, and the second corresponding circle C2 being virtual is formed by connecting all of the positions between the two ends of the inner surfaces 206. In the 2nd embodiment, the geometric structures of all the inner extended portions 205 are the same, thus the geometric structures of all the inner surfaces 206 are the same. Each of the inner extended portions 205 is extended and tapered towards the central axis z. All the inner extended portions 205 are connected one by one to surround the central axis z. All the inner surfaces 206 are connected one by one to form an entire of the hole inner surface 202. In other embodiments (not shown in drawings) according to the present disclosure, geometric structures of a plurality of inner extended portions may not be the same. Geometric structures of a plurality of inner surfaces thereof may not be the same. The inner extended portions may not be connected one by one. The inner surfaces may not be connected one by one. That is, there may be a gap between two of the inner extended portions, and all the inner surfaces thereof together may only form part of a hole inner surface.

In FIG. 2A, a middle point of the arc section 220 is approach to the second corresponding circle C2, two ends of the arc section 220 are extended towards the first corresponding circle C1, and a center R0 of curvature of the arc section 220 is farther from the central axis z of the light blocking sheet 200 than the arc section 220 is from the central axis z. Furthermore, the specific ways according to the characteristics of this paragraph can be, for example, a middle point of an arc section is located on the second corresponding circle, two ends of the arc section are extended towards and located on the first corresponding circle, and so forth.

In the 2nd embodiment, the middle point of the arc section 220 is located on the second corresponding circle C2, and the two ends of the arc section 220 are extended towards and located on the first corresponding circle C1. The center R0 of curvature of the arc section 220 is farther from the central axis z of the light blocking sheet 200 than the arc section 220 is from the central axis z, that is, the arc section 220 has an inverse radius of curvature. The inverse radius of curvature according to the present disclosure indicates an arc direction of an arc section is opposite to an arc direction of a central axis of a light blocking sheet, that is, a center of curvature of the arc section is farther from the central axis than the arc section is from the central axis. Therefore, a plurality of inner extended portions according to the present disclosure is advantageous to provide a realer image for an imaged object of an intense light spot, which is at least similar to the imaged object of the intense light spot by visually seen when photographing with an imaging lens assembly.

In the 2nd embodiment, the first corresponding circle C1 being virtual is formed by connecting all of the two ends of the arc sections 220, and the second corresponding circle C2 being virtual is formed by connecting all of the middle points of the arc sections 220. Furthermore, each of the inner surfaces 206 is only composed by the arc section 220, and the two ends of the arc section 220 are respectively the two ends of the inner surface 206. In other embodiments (not shown in drawings) according to the present disclosure, at least one inner surface may include not only an arc section but also an additional surface. A middle point of an arc section is approach to the second corresponding circle, while may not be located on the second corresponding circle. Two ends of the arc section are extended towards the first corresponding circle, while may not be located on the first corresponding circle.

In FIG. 2A, when the diameter of the first corresponding circle is φ1, the diameter of the second corresponding circle is φ2, a distance between two ends of the inner surface 206 of each of the inner extended portions 205 is w, and an inverse radius of curvature of the arc section 220 is R, the following conditions are satisfied: φ1>φ2; 0.02<π×(φ1−φ2)/(2×w)<0.9; and 0.015 mm<R<1.02 mm. Therefore, the inner surface 206 with the arc section 220 can prevent the inner surface 206 from including an overly long line section, which may simultaneously reflect contracted beams of an intense light spot to an image surface, so as to result in weak unwanted residual light around an image of the intense light spot. Furthermore, the arc section 220 particularly with a shape of the inverse radius of curvature is advantageous to effectively diverge the stray light to further reduce the weak unwanted residual light.

Moreover, a difference between a radius of the first corresponding circle C1 and a radius of the second corresponding circle C2 is h, which can be understood that “h=(φ1−φ2)/2” based on the forgoing paragraphs, the distance between the two ends of the inner surface 206 of each of the inner extended portions 205 is w, thus the condition aforementioned “0.02<π×(φ1−φ2)/(2×w)<0.9” can be also shown as “0.02<π×h/w<0.9”. In the 2nd embodiment, the distance w is also a distance between the two ends of the arc sections 220.

In detail, the light blocking sheet 200 with the inner extended portions 205 can be formed integrally. Therefore, it is favorable for the mass production of the light blocking sheet 200 and avoiding the extra manufacturing procedures.

When a number of the inner extended portions 205 is N, the following condition can be satisfied: 13<N<49. If a number of the inner extended portions is out of the aforementioned range, the properties of blocking the specific stray light would be below the expectation. When a number of the inner extended portions is within the aforementioned range, the worse properties of blocking the stray light resulted from the quality deviations of the light blocking sheets in mass production can be avoided. In FIG. 2A, an angle with respect to the central axis z of the inner surface 206 of each of the inner extended portions 205 is a. In the 2nd embodiment, geometric structures of all the inner extended portions 205 are the same, the angle with respect to the central axis z of the inner surface 206 of each of the inner extended portions 205 is 10 degrees (i.e. the angle α is 10 degrees), and the number of the inner extended portions 205 is 36 (i.e. the number N is 36).

When the inverse radius of curvature of the arc section 220 is R, preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.015 mm<R<0.55 mm. Therefore, the light blocking sheet 200 with the specific number of the inner extended portions 205 is advantageous to block the stray light of a larger range. More preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.035 mm<R<0.3 mm.

When the diameter of the first corresponding circle C1 is φ1, the diameter of the second corresponding circle C2 is φ2, and the distance between the two ends of the inner surface 206 of each of the inner extended portions 205 is w, preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.03<π×(φ1−φ2)/(2×w)<0.6. Therefore, the inner extended portions 205 satisfying the aforementioned condition have less impact on the imaging from the imaged object under a low light condition, so that a better imaging performance of the imaged object under the low light condition can be provided. More preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.05<π×(φ1−φ2)/(2×w)<0.45.

When the diameter of the first corresponding circle C1 is φ1, and the diameter of the second corresponding circle C2 is φ2, preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.005 mm<(φ1−φ2)<0.19 mm. Therefore, it is favorable for preventing the light blocking sheet 200 from overly blocking light. Overly blocking light does not only affect the specification of the imaging lens assembly, but also influence the imaging performance of night photography. More preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.01 mm<(φ1−φ2)<0.07 mm.

The light blocking sheet 200 may be a composite light blocking sheet. Furthermore, the material arrangement of the light blocking sheet 200 may be the same as the material arrangement of the light blocking sheet 100 of the 1st embodiment according to the present disclosure, shown as FIG. 1A and FIG. 1D.

It is distinguished from the conventional stacking method for the lens elements and the light blocking sheets. In detail, the first connecting structure 731 and the second connecting structure 732 provide the lens elements 701 and 702 the alignment with the central axis z. The lens elements 701 and 702 provide an optical mechanism (i.e. receiving surfaces 793 and 794) for disposing the light blocking sheet 100, so that the receiving space 790 and the light blocking position could be well controlled, and extra influences on a specific light blocking position resulted from the assembling tolerances could be avoided.
